Stove ignition

Hi guys, we are currently renting and the gas stove ignition has stoped working.
I emailed agent requesting it too be fixed as we cook everyday.
His response was-
It cannot be fixed and for us to just use matches or a lighter from now on.

In WA we supply one of those clicker sticks if the electric ignition has gone on the gas stove. It's the first thing to die and it's a bitch to fix.
I don't think I've had one die mid tenancy though - generally it's something that's broken when I buy it so it's already broken when they start the tenancy

My PM emailed me to say the light had gone in the oven and as Plumber was going there to fix tap washers he was suggesting he fix it at the same time. I agreed. When I received the account it was complete replacement of ignition. $230. Plus labour. I had just had it adjusted by manufacturer, $135.

I agree. PM said he thought that was what was called. Ignition light!!!! I can assure you he will not do it again. I have told him from now on I use only my plumber and eletrician. They contact me before proceeding with anything unexpected.

Is this correct for the agent to say this to us?

If that PM and landlord had any sense, they would have sent you one of those handheld ignition things. They're pretty cheap.

Send a claim to the PM as it's too much to ask that you have to do more than push a button to get the stove to light.

Lifting a finger I believe would be excessive.

We won't mention the fact that they refused to replace the toilet seat that was too small for the toilet and pinched the kids skin everytime they sat down on it. That cost $11.48 to replace from Bunnings. We covered that one also

I think that's a bit odd. It should be working.
Not fun sticking a match in to the back of an oven.
